Chapter 397: Can't Always Follow Others' Lead [First Update]

For the English Speech Contest for freshmen at Shuimu University's School of Mechanical Engineering, besides requiring contestants to deliver their speeches in English on stage, the topic of the speech was also prescribed. It had to be related to science and technology. The topic could contain popular science content, it could look forward to the cutting-edge technology, or it could detailedly introduce a certain kind of technology. The length of the speech was required to be around ten minutes, with the minimum being no less than eight minutes, and the maximum not exceeding fifteen minutes.

As for the source of the content of the speech, whether it is copied verbatim from other places, is original, or is ghostwritten, there was no limitation. However, the competition rules did emphasize that original content would result in bonus points when being graded by the judges.
